Two plea deals were rejected in the Workman case, this was a case I covered extensively because it was not high profile. The media as usual, reprints the press release now that the case was successful.
This case went to trial thanks to Allison Jackson, who represented the victim, twice the plea deal was rejected.
The jury came through for the victim who wanted appropriate justice. Please read other posts on this blog for Angela's story.
Jury verdict was guilty of PC 245(a)(1), assault with a deadly weapon and personal infliction of great bodily injury per PC 12022.7.
Earlier I was told the case had been "resolved" by DDA Zach Curtis and Elmy Workman's attorney, Neal Sanders. from a source who did not realize resolved means jury verdict. . That is what I heard because when I got there this morning, the courtroom was closed, both attorneys left and no one around to confirm.
Mr. Curtis got back to me soon with the jury verdict. Elmy Workman was found guilty of PC 245(a)(1), assault with a deadly weapon and personal infliction of great bodily injury per PC 12022.7.
The defendant, Elmy Workman left the courtroom after the verdict with her family and was somber. I will cover the sentencing.
